High exitation energy modes in $^{118}$Sn populated by the $^{120}$Sn(p,t)$^{118}$Sn reaction at 35 MeV
Abstract
The 120Sn(p,t)118Sn reaction was investigated at 35 MeV incident energy. The 118Sn excitation energy spectrum was reconstructed up to about 16 MeV. Preliminary results show the presence of a broad resonance at high excitation energy, compatible with the predicted population of the Giant Pairing Vibration (GPV).
